SECRET CURRICULUM HOW TO

The stories and conversations are enjoyable and the authors don’t just give advice, they explain how to do it. “ The Secret Syllabus is unlike any other book I’ve read on preparing for college success. Skills for Scholars: The new tools of the trade Jay Phelan and Terry Burnham on how to uncover the secret syllabus This fresh, funny, and boldly innovative book enables students to develop the consistently winning and effective behaviors that will equip them to thrive on campus and beyond. Weaving engaging storytelling with practical, actionable advice, they illustrate both productive and counterproductive approaches to achieving academic excellence, and highlight the importance of setting and attaining goals, nurturing strong relationships, developing resiliency, and more. The Secret Syllabus draws on Phelan and Burnham’s experiences with thousands of undergraduate and graduate students. Jay Phelan and Terry Burnham share the essential lessons they have learned from struggling, unfocused students as well as award-winning college instructors and researchers. Without mastery of the secret syllabus, too many miss out on the full, rich experience available to them in college. Left to figure out on their own how the academic world works, students frequently stumble, underperform, and miss opportunities.

The Secret Syllabus equips students with the tools they need to succeed, revealing the unwritten rules and cultural norms and expectations not included in the official curriculum.
